How we handle sink repair in Midway

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Midway

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

We work UK-wide, so Midway is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

The size and number of damaged areas
Where the damage is and how we get to it
Doing more than one item at once
The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

The material, if you know it
Something in shot to show the size
One sharp close-up of the damage
Details of any past repairs

For a price in Midway, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

A basin cracked through and leaking
Plumbing leaks
A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
We match the colour by hand.
The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Store toiletries on a shelf

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
